When you think of Boston sports, a rivalry with New York always comes to mind. Whether it is Sox and Yanks, Bruins and Rangers, or in this case, Patriots and Jets... yes that is right, Patriots and Jets. Today, Tom Brady had a chance to chime in on the rivalry between the two AFC East Division teams, saying that the rivalry and competition is "awesome", according to the Boston Herald

"it’s awesome," Brady said. "I mean, it’s Boston-New York. It’s been that way for a long time, long before me, and any time you see them on the schedule you just think of all the great games that you’ve had against them and you think of how challenging the game will be. We know a lot of the faces, we know the scheme. There are some new faces that are part of the rivalry, so it’s going to be an exciting game on Thursday night here. I know the stadium, it’s our first home opener, which is always fun for us players, so hopefully we can go out and play really well."

One can only hope and imagine that this will help us in the long run, especially because if the players like the competition, then maybe it will help them focus. Especially with Amendola and Vereen out this week, the Patriots need all the help they can get. they need to wrap around Brady's leadership and come together. if they can't do that then they will be in a tough spot come this week...
